Forza Horizon 6 PC Requirements Confirmed, Featuring DLSS 4 and Ray Tracing

Playground Games has officially lifted the lid on the PC requirements for Forza Horizon 6, giving players a clearer idea of what kind of hardware they’ll need to hit the open road of Japan when the game launches. As expected, the range is wide, scaling from fairly modest entry-level specs all the way up to bleeding-edge GPUs for those chasing 4K with ray tracing enabled.

At the low end, the barrier to entry is refreshingly reasonable, with a GTX 1650 or equivalent still getting you in the door at 1080p. But once you start climbing the technology ladder, things ramp up quickly. The “Extreme” and “Extreme RT” tiers make it clear that Forza Horizon 6 is built with modern hardware in mind, especially if you’re aiming for ultra settings, native 4K, and advanced lighting features like ray-traced reflections and global illumination.

Below is a full list of the PC requirements for Forza Horizon 6, as shared by Playground Games.
